The heads of Marvel fans are spinning after the release of the new trailer for What If, a new Disney Plus animated series. The show will explore a bunch of "what if" scenarios in the MCU such as, what if the Avengers became zombies? Or, what if Peggy Carter got the super soldier serum? Luckily, fans will learn the answers to these questions when the series premieres in August.
Once the trailer dropped, fans quickly took to Twitter to share their reactions. Some tweets involve theories or excitement over plot points teased in the trailer but, many Twitter posts used memes to express their reactions.
Iron Man And Killmonger Meet
Marvel fans never expected a team-up between Killmonger from Black Panther and Tony Stark from Iron Man. But, the What If series will explore this interesting dynamic. A fan on Twitter includes pictures from the trailer, where Tony is saved from his company's missile by Killmonger.
After this reveal, many fans reacted with shock. But, this Twitter user comments that their dynamic was one they never knew they needed. Perhaps this means Killmonger will take a less villainous path. Or, maybe Tony will help Killmonger expand his rule outside of Wakanda.
Wanda And Vision In Danger
Fans of WandaVision were just beginning to heal from the events that took place in Westview. However, the What If trailer shows more tragedy for the couple. The Twitter user displays Vision getting the Infinity Stone taken out of his head and Wanda being raised in the air by her powers.
This Twitter fan doesn't want to see Wanda or Vision in danger anymore. Also, they sign off the post saying "sincerely, me." Fans were hoping What If would show a more positive outcome for the pair but, according to the trailer, it seems like their bad luck will continue.
One Thing After Another
Marvel doesn't let fans rest for long. An episode of Loki dropped on Wednesday, they released the trailer for What If on Thursday, and Black Widow will come out on Friday. This Twitter meme shows how fans are overwhelmed by the multitude of Marvel content.
While the MCU has lasted a long time, as shown by Scarlet Johansson's transformation throughout the MCU, fans' excitement for the franchise hasn't wavered. To prove this point, the woman in the meme has Loki, What If, and Black Widow merchandise.
Time Is Changeable
In Loki, viewers learn about the timekeepers and their mission to preserve the Sacred Timeline. However, What If will go against the Time Variance Authority's philosophy, as the Ancient One describes time as changeable. So, this Twitter user decided to make a hilarious meme about the TVA's outrage towards the trailer.
The meme includes the TVA's mascot, Miss Minutes. The mascot says, "I took that personally," in response to the Ancient One's statement about the flexibility of time. Fans can't help but laugh while looking at this meme.
Bucky Looks Like Hozier
One of Sebastian Stan's best roles is Bucky Barnes, who stars in Captain America and The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. So, fans were excited to see Bucky in the What If trailer. But, this tweet jokes that Bucky looks like Hozier, the singer famous for songs like "Take Me To Church."
The tweet pokes fun at Bucky's long hair, which is similar to Hozier's. Also, they claim that Bucky in What If is actually Hozier. While this is untrue, fans laugh at the similarities between the superhero and the singer.
T'Challa Is Back
MCU fans were heartbroken from the passing of Chadwick Boseman in 2020. So, viewers teared up when they saw T'Challa in the What If trailer. Unfortunately, the series will be Boseman's last appearance as T'Challa.
This tweet uses a crying cat meme to convey their reaction to hearing Boseman's voice. However, in What If, T'Challa will be a bit different than he is in Black Panther. He's seen wearing Star-Lord's helmet, as Yondu took him into space instead of Peter Quill.
Captain Carter
Peggy Carter gets a promotion in What If, going from Agent Carter to Captain Carter. She's wearing a superhero uniform and has the colors of Britain's flag on her shield. This Twitter user includes a drawing of an excited person, showing their reaction to the news of Captain Carter.
The tweet also gushes over Peggy's quote from the trailer, "The name's Captain Carter." This line inspires goosebumps, as fans can't wait to see Peggy fight with the power of the super-soldier serum.
Spider-Man In Doctor Strange's Cloak
While Spider-Man: No Way Home is rumored to explore the multi-verse, What If is sure to show another version of Spider-Man. In the trailer, Spider-Man wears Doctor Strange's cloak. While he looks great, this Twitter user quickly made a meme about his new attire.
Beside a picture of Spider-Man in the cloak is an image from Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse, where Peter tells Miles to take off his cape. Even though Peter claims Spider-Man doesn't wear a cape, it looks like he will in What If.
Captain Marvel Crumbs
Audiences love picking apart Marvel trailers, wanting to find clues about the show or movie. So, this Twitter user was especially excited when they spotted a small crumb of Carol Danvers in the trailer.
In one scene, Captain Marvel's image appears in a shard of glass. Viewers hope this means that she's in the series, as fans have many questions about Carol following the WandaVision finale. Audiences want to know what occurred between her and the Rambeau's after the events of Captain Marvel.
Scott Lang's Head
Scott Lang's scene from the trailer inspired the most confusion. In the clip, Scott's head is inside of a jar but despite his physical state, Scott is smiling.
This Tweet reacts to the scene with a crying emoji. Additionally, they pose the question running through many fans' minds, which is, "Why is this so on-brand for him?" Somehow, it does make sense, as Scott would probably be the only Avenger in a cheery mood while his head is inside a jar.
